Yo guys! This my new ShikaNeji fic. Hope you like it! :D Pls Review! This is a Multi-chapter one :D

"What are you doing here?" The young Hyuuga said to Shikamaru with his back turned to Nara.

"You're such a pain. How did you know I was creeping up behind you?" Shikamaru questioned the ninja. Neji sighed and pointed to his eyes. "Byakugan." He walked towards the Chuunin and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Well, was wondering if you would come with me to Naruto's birthday party. I got quite lost the last time round…" Shikamaru laughed nervously as he thought of the time when he had to circle round the whole of Konoha five times before he could find the Genin's house.

Neji raised an eyebrow; he didn't expect the lazy fellow to ask him. They weren't exactly close friends you know.

"Why me?" Neji eyed the ninja, waiting for an answer.

"You're so troublesome. Choji is out of town on an eating festival and Kiba is coming to the party a little later. So, the next closest is you, I guess." Shikamaru just shrugged.

Neji put his hands in his pockets and nodded. "Meet me outside of the ramen shop at 7." With that, the Byakugan user strolled off and made his way to his room.

"Oh yeah. How did you find a way to my house? Wait, that doesn't even matter. How did you get into my house?"

"If you must know…" The Nara pointed to the hole in the garden. Neji cringed. Hinata used that same hole to escape to Kiba's birthday party last week.

"Oh. But you're still considered pretty stupid to get yourself stuck in mud. You could have called me through the front gate or something." Neji smiled an evil smile and walked off.

Shikamaru gritted his teeth. "That's the thanks I get for letting you come with me?" He muttered under his breath. "What's with him?" He then walked out of the house.

0oo0oo0

It has been ten minutes. Where was that Hyuuga guy?! Shikamaru thought as he tapped his foot impatiently.

Just then, the Hyuuga was seen in the bustling streets carrying a birthday present in his arm. Shikamaru stared down at the measly present he had and looked at the humongous thing the guy had. Ah, well. He could still blame him for being late, I guess.

"Hey, you're late." Nara stated lazily.

"Yes, I know that Nara. If you want to get your butt there on time, I think we should try to move your lazy legs now?" Neji smirked. He knew if he didn't do that, Nara would be complaining to him how late he was.

Shikamaru sighed, "This is such a drag." He didn't know on top of women, guys were also irritating. And of all people, it was Hyuuga who was the most talented shinobi out there (well, besides himself). This was such a pain.

As they walked, Shikamaru noticed Neji was wearing a pinkish shade of peach turtleneck and a pair of jeans. The guy didn't look as good with his normal pair of shorts and shirt. Wait. I can't be saying that guy looks nice! He is not! He chided himself as they carried on with the journey.

"Shika-kun." Neji turned to the guy. Shikamaru cringed. He didn't like to be called that. It sounded so much like a… kid. Nevertheless, he didn't let Neji see his reaction because he knew he will only get joy seeing it.

"Yes?" Nara asked in the nicest possible way ever.

"Your fly's undone." He pointed to his pants, laughing at the same time.

Shikamaru felt his jaw drop and quickly turned away and pulled his zip up. He then bit his lip. Stupid! Of all people, you have to let Neji tell you your zip is undone?! Shikamaru!

"Next time, be careful." Hyuuga continued walking. Shikamaru sighed. This is going to be so troublesome.
